Dudes want a sweater that’s comfortable and washes up without fuss. The sideways construction creates vertical ridges that give it the look of a classic knitted Shaker sweater. Working into the back bars of the half double crochet rows gives the crochet sweater widthwise stretch so he can haul wood with ease.
